According to the Statistic Brain Research Institute, the seven most popular New Year Resolutions for 2017 were:

#1 Lose weight / eat & be healthier
#2 Life / self improvements
#3 Better financial decisions
#4 Quit smoking
#5 Do more exciting things
#6 Spend more time with family & close friends
#7 Work out more often

The study ALSO revealed that over 50% of all resolutions fail within 6 months. A startling fact attributed to:

• Lack of SUPPORT
• Lack of ACCOUNTABILITY
• Unrealistic or unobtainable GOALS
• Failure to see considerable, lasting CHANGE.

This statistic — and the “top 7 resolutions” list above, confirmed for me why those who join Catalyst STAY with Catalyst: they realize and maintain RESULTS.

The “Soul” of Catalyst Health Club

Welcome to part 3 of “Anatomy of an Exceptional Health Club.” The first two articles in this series shared thoughts of how our facilities are the “body,” and our staff the “heart” of what makes Catalyst a great place to become healthier. However, I think the concept of “saving the best for last” really applies here—because PART 3 recognizes the driving force that has guided Catalyst toward continued improvement and success—the inspirational “soul” of our club: our Catalyst members.

Celebrating 2 Important Milestones

The last quarter of 2015 marks two positive milestones for Catalyst Health & Fitness. We’re celebrating our 5-year anniversary—and also celebrating the grand reopening of out newly acquired, renovated and greatly improved Catalyst Middlebury Club!

In looking back at our efforts and progress, it’s rewarding to realize that our growth and success can be attributed NOT to “building yet another work out gym,” but rather, to a planned focus on creating something EXCEPTIONAL. A fitness-minded community of successful, respected members that lead by example through healthier achievements and more rewarding lifestyles. At Catalyst, our members tell us time and again that membership is about more than “just working out…it’s about being part of and sharing in something great!” It is those very accolades from members that inspired this detailed look at what makes Catalyst an exceptional health club experience.
